Manufacturers are increasingly utilizing machine tools that are self-aware – they perceive their own states and the state of the surrounding environment – and are able to make decisions related to machine activity processes. This is called intelligent machining, and through this course students will receive a primer on its background, tools and related terminology.
Learn how the integration of smart sensors and controls are helping to improve productivity. You’ll be exposed to various sensors and sensing techniques, process control strategies, and open architecture systems that can be leveraged to enable intelligent machining. This course will prepare you to contribute to the implementation of intelligent machining projects.
Main concepts of this course will be delivered through lectures, readings, discussions and various videos.
This is the fifth course in the Digital Manufacturing & Design Technology specialization that explores the many facets of manufacturing’s “Fourth Revolution,” aka Industry 4.0, and features a culminating project involving creation of a roadmap to achieve a self-established DMD-related professional goal.

[MUSIC] Globally, the methods by which products are designed and manufactured are advancing at a rapid pace just before our very eyes. I'm Rahul Rai, Associate Professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at University of Buffalo, SUNY. The current period known as Industry 4.0 is realizing a transformation from manual to digital operations. And it has significance to manufacturers throughout the world. We are in the era of digital manufacturing and design or VMD. This course was developed to introduce you to the concept of intelligent machining or IM. And what IM means within the context of digital manufacturing and design paradigm. Processes, previously monitored and controlled by humans, are now being controlled and monitored by smart sensors and actuators in this new generation of manufacturing. Intelligent machines use sensors and data to determine various aspects of manufacturing processes to maximize operations efficiency. The outcome, high productivity, high quality, significant improvements to manufacturing processes. Enhanced communication among stakeholders. Smarter decisions, shorter product life-cycles and, superior data interoperability. Let's explore how data driven machine learning algorithms can help detecting problems in complex and uncertain manufacturing environments. We have made significant progress in manufacturing and intelligent machining signifies how automation can benefit those in the industry. Reiterating the mantra of this specialization, it's having the right information in the right place and at the right time. We will see how intelligent machining can help make companies more agile, more productive and more competitive. When you finish this course, you will be able to recognize why intelligent machining is an integral part of the digital manufacturing paradigm. You will be able to state components required to enable the intelligent machining in the manufacturing workflow. And finally, you will have the basics to enable you to participate in planning and execution of an intelligent machining project in an industrial setting. Let's embrace the new opportunities technology brings to manufacturing as we explore intelligent machining in this course of the digital manufacturing and design technology specialization.
